Do you do a weekly ping?

Was mucking around, looked at the Task Manager CPU Usage (yes, I’m a nerd). It doesn’t get over 32%. That tells me that F@H isn’t using as much as it can. I’d like it to use as close to 100% as it can when I’m not on it.

One of the other GUIs mentioned on the home page will use all 4 of my processors, or at least more than one. Suggestions? Which of the others should I use?

Opened the log for F@H and was impressed. It downloaded my first work unit at 17:40 on Feb 27. As of last night, it uploaded the completed 15th work unit at 23:33. That’s in essentially 6.5 days. All of those WUs had 250,000 steps. The one it downloaded then has 2 million! As of 19:54, it’s 61% done with that one. Good stuff, but would like to see it use more of the ‘puter’s resources!

Suggestions/comments/hammer-the-whiner?

Would love to do a weekly ping but it is more time consuming than my new role at work allows.

Want to volunteer to update everyone on who is climbing, who broke a million, etc?

Several FReepers can help out on technical issues.

I have not had much luck getting the SMP console to work in Windows, so I stick to GPU and CPU console units.

Which CPU do you have?

Create three new folders for F@H, download the CPU console into each one of the folders. Run each one and choose “Advanced Options”. Make sure that you select a unique number for each console.

One CPU core should be dedicated to feeding your GPU. The other three can run console units each in their own folder. Only use one GUI at a time.

You should see the numbers climb even faster.
